Brothers, be clear-headed when trading contracts! Do you always feel like the market is just watching your few USDT? You see the direction correctly, but you always get whipsawed out of positions right before it starts, just as you cut loss it big pumps, and while you can hold the order, you can't escape getting liquidated?

Today, let's not talk about the superficial. I'll pull back the curtain on contracts and discuss those unspoken rules of exchanges. It may not make you rich immediately, but it will definitely help you avoid many pitfalls.
Do you think contract trading is really trading Bitcoin? Don't be ridiculous. Ultimately, it's just a "price bet" where you are the player, the platform is the dealer, and what you earn is the money lost by others.
When you go long, you are betting that it will rise next; when you go short, you are betting that it will fall next.
Get straight to the point, three major truths that many people dare not say:
The funding rate is not a "cost", but a weather vane!
The positive funding rate means that long positions pay the short positions; the negative funding rate means that short positions subsidize the long positions. If one side's funding rate remains persistently high, it is a warning from the market: "The positions on this side are too crowded and are about to get liquidated!"
At this time, don't follow the crowd; operating in the opposite direction is often safer.
The liquidation price has a hidden mechanism!
Don't be naive to think that a 10x leverage will only get liquidated after a 10% drop. The platform will charge an "extra friction fee" during forced liquidation, essentially sending you off early, ensuring that your margin is completely wiped out.
High leverage is a double-edged sword – you earn fast, but you lose even faster!
When you open 100 times, all fees and funding costs are calculated based on the magnified value. Holding overnight? High-frequency deductions can silently eat away at your principal.
High leverage is only suitable for a blitz, you should run once you make a profit, and never hold for a protracted battle.
Let's talk about rolling positions again—this is the "Holy Grail" for full-position players, and also "poison."
Increase positions when profitable, in a big market movement it could multiply by tens of times.
But once the market reverses, the full position mode will be directly wiped out, unable to preserve even the principal.
My approach is to only use half of the floating profit to roll over, always keep the base position, and stay alive to have output.
Finally, why do you always feel that the market is "targeting" you? Those key levels frequently get liquidated, is it really just a coincidence?
No. Because the exchange can see the leverage and stop-loss lines of most people, collective liquidation is their most profitable moment. #ETH 热浪战队争霸赛来袭#
